They are DVD-R. Just as the last two exclusives are. If you check all WAC listings on Movies Unlimited you will find they indicate DVD dispite the fact they are DVD-R.John Morgan said:I wonder if these are standart DVDs and not DVD-R? I know Warners went back to the camera nitrate negative for RHAPSODY IN BLUE. On the product page, they only say DVD video. Maybe, like Universal, they are doing a small pressed run for these titles as a test.
Forgot to mention that I was referring to the "Rhapsody in Blue" movie ;-)Karsten Alex said:Anyone got the DVD? According to a clip they posted on the TCM site, the quality is quite amazing, also sound-wise. Might be worth getting it, already for having a decent-sounding version of the soundtrack at last ...
WB's new RHAPSODY IN BLUE is revelatory in its high quality. I'm lovin' this DVD. But if you want to see a quality sample, go to Warner Archive's website and click on the clip available on the product page. http://www.wbshop.com/Rhapsody-In-Blue/1000252578,default,pd.html?cgid=ZARCHIVEALL-BEST If you go to TCM's website, you'll see the same clips they've been using for years, and given that they are from the old master, if you compare the clips there with the clip on WB's site, it really underscores the huge improvement of the new WB DVD. Picture quality overall is near-perfect. To my eye, aside from the errant scratch in process shots, it looks like there has been a lot of picture clean-up. As for the audio, it's just awesome...plain and simple. I don't think any other Warner disc does a better job reproducing the sonics of their amazing orchestra of that era.Karsten Alex said:Anyone got the DVD?
